The accounting department your business needs
(without the headcount)
Outsourced accounting for companies too big to DIY but not ready for a full-time hire.
We work with business owners across the U.S. who are past the DIY stage — companies with real revenue, real complexity, and zero time for books that raise more questions than they answer.
Maybe your books are months behind. Maybe they're "done" but you don't trust them. Maybe your CPA keeps bringing up the same issues every year. Whatever the starting point, we get your financials to a place where they're accurate, current, and (most importantly) useful for running your business.
We specialize in working with companies doing $1M-$6M in revenue, typically 10-40 employees, in construction, manufacturing, and multi-location services.
How We Support You
-
Converting from desktop to online based accounting should be simple, and sometimes it is! But when it’s not, we can help — whether you want assistance verifying data accuracy after the transfer, need QBO training and support for your staff, or want guidance on choosing the right subscription level for your business.
-
When you're busy running your business, bookkeeping can easily fall to the bottom of your to-do list. If your books weren’t set up correctly and your financials are nonsensical, don’t stress—it’s all fixable! We’ll work together to catch up and organize your books, ensuring you’re ready for the next stage of your business.
-
Once your books are cleaned up and organized, regular maintenance is essential to keep them up to date. Monthly bookkeeping tasks may include coding transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, calculating and filing GE or sales tax, processing payroll, and preparing financial statements.
-
So your bookkeeping is caught up and financials are complete, now what? We can use your financial data to evaluate the business. Whether you need to calculate your break-even point, track key metrics, prepare for taxes, or identify sales trends, your financial data is a powerful tool that will help you make informed decisions about your business.

Need more financial guidance to grow your business? Fractional controller services include budgeting, cash flow forecasting, internal workflow setup & SOPs, and custom dashboards. Tell us what you want to track and we’ll figure out how to track it.
Why Flat-Fee?
A full-time bookkeeper comes with a salary, payroll taxes, benefits, and a cost that tends to increase whether or not the workload does. Hourly contractors run the meter every time you have a question. Flat-fee gives you an entire accounting function for one number you can plan around.
Our flat-fee approach means:
One predictable cost for a full accounting function, not a salary plus benefits and overhead
No meter running when you call or email
Your price doesn't spike because you had a busy month
No hiring, training, or turnover to manage
You get experienced accounting support for (often) less than the loaded cost of one full-time hire, and a number you can budget around all year.
I’m Jessica, founder of Open Book
My clients come to me when their books have grown past what they can (or want to) handle themselves. I bring the structure and attention that makes financials something you rely on, not something you avoid.
With years of experience working at a CPA firm and managing books across industries, from solopreneurs to tech startups, I know how vital accurate, organized books are for decision making and peace of mind.
I work with clients across the U.S., fully virtually.
